Alternative Platforms for PbP?
Owing to ongoing forum issues, one of my groups is looking for a more reliable platform. Can anyone suggest a site? I'm not very familiar with PbP options outside of the Playground itself.

Re: Alternative Platforms for PbP?
The Tangled Web and Myth-Weavers both exist, although I've never run games on them.
Discord is superior for OOC game chatter vs. the forum anyway, so I would probably move to asynchronous play there... although recruiting for new games would be a challenge aside from existing players I know and trust.Things published on DM's Guild

Baldur's Gate 2 (ongoing)
Castle Dracula (Castlevania)
Against the Idol of the Sun (high level hexcrawl)

RPOL is amazing, and is more than just a thread you can post to. Has a dice ruler and a built in wiki for your game if you should choose.
Also,play by web, though... this has lot a ton of players since I first started a while ago..
Oddly enough RPOL was created by some play by web peeps after a disagreement over something if memory serves me correctly.
Not to knock gitp, but in terms of play by forums it is actually nowhere near as good as a site that is dedicated for online forum play.
After all, it is a forum that you can play on. Not a forum built to be played on.

There's also rpol.net. It's a site custom-built for PbP role-playing and has a lot of great features. I highly recommend it.
EDIT: ninja'd!
